CENTRAL GRADE SCHOOL KOCH SCHOOL DEDICATION To Richard Sackreiter who served our school well, if only for a short time, the staff of the 1959 annual dedicates this book. Richard was only a sophomore when his life was cut tragically short by a tractor accident on his father’s farm. During his freshman year Richard was a member of the track team and the FFA. He was also in intramurals and football. Richard took an active interest in his church and was a well-liked and useful member of his school and com- munity. And so, with warm and heartfelt affection,... to Richard ... from all of us.

In to- day's world rockets, artificial satellites, Sputniks, and planned trips into outer space are talked about constantly. Because of this, we, the staff of the Milbank High School annual, have chosen as our theme The Space Age . Weeks, months, ond years go into the planning of each rocket. Rough sketches and pre- liminary drawings are mode. Scientists calculate each dimension with the utmost care. Then a blue print is made and models of the rocket are shaped. Finally, the rocket itself is finished. All of this planning and careful, painstaking work has determined its final shape and form. In a somewhat similar way our extracurricular activities influence the finished product, the senior, who graduates from Milbank High School. However, the planning and work determine only the physical form of a rocket; our extracurricular activities—athletics, speech, music, ond clubs—develop and mold not only the student's body but also his mind and personality. 4 GHEENO NAMED “COACH OF THE YEAR” Pictured above is Kollie Greeno with his wife and family.

Other places besides Milbank were Dallas, Miami, Pittsburg and Annapolis. The four greats made a hig hit with their comments and football stories.

JoAnne Seim, a junior transfer student from Strandburg, and two sophomores, Ann Mikkelson and Anne Karels. They taught MHS students several new cheers and helped to support our team tre- mendously. The B” Cheering Squad, consisting of one junior, Beverly Weekley, two sophomores. Judy Bunting and Lynna Iverson, and one freshman. Kathy Flanery, also did their part by supporting the strong-winning “B” basketball team. Kathleen Flanery, Lynna Kay Iverson, Judy Bunting.

Mrs. Colberg also trained several grade school students for three exhibitions at our home games. The girls performed several interesting stunts which were enjoyed by all that saw them. 12 Robyn Voeltz, Marcene Falk, Phyllis Reiners, Janet Reiners, Suzanne Comstock HAND Row 1: J. Engebretson, L.

Reiners, J. Miller, R. Sackreiter. The experienced debate team enjoyed a successful season this year, bringing home their share of honors. They performed at seven tournaments and brought home the Northeast Conference Tournament trophy. The debaters also won their way to the State Tournamest by beating Watertown at the Divisional Contest. The experienced debaters were Judy Miller, Phyllis Reiners, Ruth Sackreiter, Susan Forman, and Colleen Dockter. In the inexperienced debate field, the team had the opportunity to attend four tournaments. Although they didn’t win the top honors, they worked hard and did quite well, the names of the inexperienced debaters will be found beneath their picture. “B” DEBATE Seated at table: C. Dockter, S.

This contest is a yearly project which gives the student a chance to do a little serious thinking about the country we live in. Carol Hendrick won the State Tuberculosis Essay Contest, which gave us a little insight into the problem of tuberculosis treatment and cure. The American Legion Oratory contest was won by Judy Miller. The subject was the U. S. Constitution, another subject giving us a good look at the meaning of being an American. 20 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY How 1: J. Miller, C. Dockter, L. Flathers, S. Forman, S. Dornbuseh, R. Spiering.

BETTY CROCKER AWARD Every year the senior girls are required to take a Betty Crocker test to chose the Homemaker of Tomorrow. This year Judy Miller, one of the outstanding students at MHS, was chosen. We were all doubly proud of Judy when it was learned that she had been chosen the State Homemaker of Tomorrow. A 1500-dollar scholarship to the school of her choice and an all-expense paid trip to Washington, D. C.. with Miss Grebner, the homemaking teacher, were her prizes for this honor. Again we take this opportunity to wish you many congratulations, Judy. 27 JUNIOR CLASS PLAY “Ah, sweet music?!” On the left, the entire cast; on the right, the stage crew. Three monkeys, “Hear noevil, See-no-evil, and Speak-no-evil”. The Junior Class play, “The Curious Savage” by John Patrick, was presented April 24. Mrs. Savage has been left ten million dollars by her husband, and wants to make the best use of it, in spite of the efforts of her grown-up step- children to get their hands on it. These latter, knowing that the widow’s wealth is now in negoti- able securities, and seeing that they cannot get hold of it, commit her to a “sanitorium” hooing to “bring her to her senses”. But Mrs. Savage is determined to establish a fund to helo others realize their hopes and dreams. In the sanitorium she meets various social misfits, men and women who just cannto ad- just themselves to life, people who need help Mrs. Savage can provide. In getting to know them, she realizes that she will find happiness with them, and plans to spend the rest of her life as one of them. But when the doctor tells her there is no reason why she should remain, she hesitates to go out into a hard world where people seem ready to do anything for money. The life she led there was gracious, amus- ing, and useful, while her new friends are interested in her, not in her money. Throughout the comedy the stepchildren are nearly driven to distraction by their vain efforts to browbeat Mrs. Savage. She. however, remains undaunted and leads the greedy stepchildren on a merry chase. They get mixed up in all sorts of ridiculous mishans, which end in com- plete frustration. At last her friends conspire to get rid of the in-laws, and through their simple belief in the justice of her cause, they enable Mrs. Savage to carry out her plans. She is eventually persuaded to leave the sanitorium and devote all her energies to the administration of her fund.

Laurie Huntington, a pretty sophomore majoring in psychology, comes home from college and finds her family in a bunch of psychological knots . She psycholo- gizes her younger brother, Wally, who insists on going steady with Joansie , daughter of his father’s hated rival; psychoanalyzes a taxidermist-ornithologist; insists that her family seek their Energy Peaks by taking tem- peratures every hour; convinces the maid, Gus, that she is a genius; and throws the whole neighborhood into a turmoil with her Zombrowski Ink Blot Test by insulting all her mother’s guests at a tea in her honor. Romance enters the scene in the person of handsome but moody Mark Bradford. Then Laurie’s family conspires to teach her a lesson by putting on a show” that she (and the audience) will long remember. But they overdo the “show and Laurie, who is humiliated beyond endur- ance, leaves home. But Laurie soon returns home admitting that a little psychology is a dangerous thing and finds forgiveness and love from her family—and Mark. Wally and Joansie rediscover each other; and almost everyone has learned something helpful about himself. The play was produced under the able direction of Mrs. Minerman, assisted by Ruth Sackreiter.

CORONATION A beautiful blue atmosphere with a huge, shining, silver star was the setting for the 1958-59 Homecoming —“Rhapsody in Blue”. The homecoming festivities start- ed off Thursday evening, Septem- ber 24, with a coronation of the King and Queen and the pep fest. Karen Crowl and Kenneth Mosey were crowned 1958 royalty. Their attendants were Betty Williams, Linda Flathers, Royce Reents and Gary Hedman. Junior attendants were Janet En- gebretson and John Lowthian; sophomore attendants were Ann Mikkelson and Ronald Boe; fresh- men attendants were Pat Herreid and Nick Forman. Lesley Swanson sang “Stardust” in honor of homecoming and Janet Engebretson played a piano solo entitled “Rhapsodey in Blue”, which was the theme for Homecom- ing. SRNIOR FLOAT—FIRST FLACK The annual Homecoming Parade was a colorful display of the high hopes and undying spirit of the Milbank stu- dents. In the high school division the senior class float won first place, the second place float was the sophomore class, the Merry Stenos placed third. FFA was given honorable mention. With supreme enthusiasm, Homecoming rocketed to a terrific climax with the defeat of the Webster Bearcats —19-12. MHS concluded with a dance following the game. Thus, another Homecoming, another victory—now, another memory! 30 JUNIOR FLOAT Mr. Swanson calling off the name of each couple as they pass over the bridge. I he first order of the evening—the banquet. Lining up to be introduced in the Grand March. Junior-Senior Prom The juniors and seniors had their banquet and prom this year in an “En- chanted Garden.” The event took place on Saturday, May 2. The banquet started at 6:30 in the “garden”. Bill Rethke, as the “gardner”, presided over the program. Linda Flath- ers was the senior speaker, and Colleen Dockter spoke for the juniors. The tables were decorated with little ponds with flamingos in them. After the grand march at 8:45, the guests danced under a sky blue canopy in the moonlight. A bridge and rock gar- den decorated the center of the floor with two little ponds reflecting the moon- light. Leo Fortin and his band supplied the music. The Kiwanis Club held a buffet lunch after the dance for the juniors and seniors and their dates; this was follow- ed by a midnight show at the theater. After the show, many juniors and sen- iors went on picnics, to parties, or to the bowling alley. Mike Raffety and Julaine Richter leading off the Grand March. Lawrence Webb and Sue Campbell are in the background. A wealth of skirts and happy faces, also a few scared ones.

Once again this year students were chosen to represent Milbank High School at Boys' and Girls' State. These students are chosen from the top one third of the junior class, have leadership qualities, and are always willing to work. The boys will go to Aberdeen in June to learn of local, county, and state government. The girls will go to Mitchell the following week to study government also. 32 Faculty and Administration — The Scientists and Technicians Hundreds of scientists, researchers, and technicians work together to produce and to fire each rocket. Each tiny complex mechanism must be developed and perfected; finally all of these mechan- isms must be put together and co-ordinated. Each part must be perfect for the failure cf one minor part can doom the rocket to failure. Each rocket is the product of the work of many people. After the work is completed, the rocket is ready to be fired from its launching pad. In the same way the faculty and administration of our school prepare the students of MHS for their firing from the launching pod, the school, into the world outside. Each senior owes much to the hours of work his teachers have devoted to him.

THE CLASSES- - The Stages Of A Rocket The rockets which lifted our Vanguard and Explorer satellites into the vast reaches of outer space to orbit around our earth had three stages and a nose cone containing ttfe shiny round satellite. Each of these satellites was filled with delicate, complex instruments to gather information and send it back to earth. The first stage got the rocket off the ground; when it burned out, the second stage took over; finally, when the second stage was .«I I exhausted, the third stage took over, carrying the nose cone and satellite to its final goal. s. ■ In our high school career, we pass through similar stages. Our freshman year is only the beginning—the first stage. Our sophomore year is like the second stage—progress, but still far from the final goal. The third stage—our junior year—brings us within sight of our goal. In our senior year we are like the satellite, filled with knowledge gained from four years of study just as it is filled with delicate instruments. At our graduation we reach the goal of our high school career, but not the ultimate goal. Our rockets will go farther into space in the future; we will go on to attain new goals. i 41 The Freshman Year The First stage FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS I)on Meadows, Joyce Lundin, Duane Anderson The freshmen launched their high school career with a zooming start by becoming active and useful participants in the scholastic and extra-curricular ac- tivities of their high school. Sports—football, basketball and track—were popu- lar among the boys. Football proved very successful as they dropped only one game all season. Also, several freshman boys were members of the ‘B” basketball team which was conference champion. Declam, debate and the paper staff attracted more of the girls. Sharon Engebretson was rated excellent in the District Declam contest. Music, too, had its place in the freshmen’s busy schedule. They participated in band, glee clubs, and chorus. Sally Davenport was chosen a member of All- State Band, an honor for any student.

The rocket, ignited by their enthusiasm, blasted off under the propulsion of ambition, which was used as fuel and energy, made the sophomore class advance to higher goals of the school. Space—a distance between a fool and wisdom. We know we can get nowhere in space without radar therefore we used our teachers as radar and a guide. As a rocket ship blasts off, it has a destination or goal to reach. Well, that’s the way is was with the sophomores, we were building our foundation so that we may have a promising future. As we neared our destination we realized we were being propelled by the aid and inspiration of Mr. Dashel, our class supervisor, and other teachers. Our teach- ers taught and trained men to pilot, trace, and construct rockets, in other words, the M. H. S. Teachers trained us to prepare for life’s blows, frictions and failures. As we reached our destination we reviewed the goals reached and found by the sophomores. We found: Four of the eight “A” and “B” cheerleaders were from the sophomore class. Sophomore boys took lettered part in the A” and “B” football, basketball, and track. Of the many activities in school, the sophomores contributed to the success of band, chorus, glee clubs, debate, declam, paperstaff, FFA. FHA. and camera club and many of the other activities. The sophomore class felt that we have successfully reach ed our goal this year. As the sophomores advance into the jun- ior class we feel we are prepared to challenge the higher and harder tasks.

To keep within our theme, the nose cone of our imaginary rocket has begun its orbit in the “cold cruel world.” The extra-curricular activities in which the seniors were outstanding were All-State Band and Chorus, State Debate, State Declam, football and track. Carol Hendrick won the State Tuberculosis Essay Contest; Judy Miller was the State Betty Crocker Homemaker of the year; and Susan Davenport represented South Dakota at Girls’ Nation. A beautiful year, a happy ending, and a glorious beginning. Another successful launching has taken place from the U. S. The senior class officers were as follows: Treasurer, Ed Klance; Secretary, Clarence Forman; President, Lawrence Webb; and Vice-President, Kenny Mosey.

The two political parties—Am- phibians and 59’ers—were organ- ized one week before the actual Student Government Day. On this day the government was completely taken over by the MHS seniors as they stepped into the various city and county offices to rule Milbank for a day. Each person elected to the dif- ferent offices spent one day learn- ing the function of the person in charge of that particular office. This is an American Legion pro- ject designed to promote better citi- zens for tomorrow! Those who participated in Stu- dent Government Day, this year were, in the county offices, Susan Davenport, Mary Dobson, Brenda Bunting, Sharon Dornbusch, Ber- niece Campbell, Rochelle Spiering, Ruth Sackreiter, Mary Berquist, Rollie Karels, David Montag, Ray- mond Kasuske, Ronald Thaden, Janet Mors, Sharon Kloster, Ed- ward Hance, Gary Hedman, Lorna Berg, Lawrence Webb, Darwin Seim, and John Berens. Linda Fla- thers, Vergil Erickson, and Joseph McKernan were the county commis- sioners. In the top picture at the right are the city officials. Seated, Elwood Ramsey, James Anderson, Karen Crowl, Phyllis Reiners, and Royce Reents. Standing, Dayle Veen, Ruth Thaden, Beverly Monserud, Gary DeJong, Sandra Meadows, and Gen- evieve Lowthian. The middle picture at the right shows our two State’s Attorneys busy at work, Clarence Forman and Kenneth Mosey. Immediately at the right are the county agents, Don Volkenant and David Van Veen, with Bob Revell, assistant county agent. 60 THE SENIORS' CHICAGO TRIP 'Getting settled for a long, long ride.' A fella sure can get thirsty, steepin' on a train! Kenny doesn’t need the Cad! The boat ride—“Did I really hear water leaking in? Lucille and Judy eating a meal, with . . . could it be 'Ike?' behind them.” Loading tip for that eventful boatride. One of his more quiet moments, at least for Ed Hance, if you know what 1 mean! At the end of a perfect? day, when the water pistols have all been confiscated, sleep, blessed sleep. I lope this is right! “Senior at work!” Your own mother wouldn't recognize you, Clyde. A tine’s really working. Must he interesting l Did you come to work?
